Abstract excerpt
The efficiency of the human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) to enter cells is defined primarily by amino acid exchanges in the external glycoprotein gp120 and in, especially its highly variable V3 loop region. To study entry efficiency of HIV-1 a competitive viral entry assay was developed, to be comprised of infectious virus as well as soluble gp120 (sgp120) as an entry competitor. Entry of viruses using...
